All those clippings you mow off each
time you cut your lawn are chock-full
of nutrients. So why throw them away?
Equip your mower with a mulching
blade, then leave the clippings on the
lawn where they’ll feed your grass all
over again. Over the course of a
season, you can return enough
nitrogen to your lawn to equal an
additional fertilizer application. And
since you don’t have to bag clippings
or pay to have them hauled off and
composted, it’s easy on the
environment, your back, and your
wallet. Work less, pay less. What more
could you want?
